This is wrapper for read_table that reads a basic PLINK fam file. For plink hard-called data, it may be useful to use the fam file ids as a filter for your phenotype and covariate data.

Usage

ukb_gen_read_fam(file, col.names = c("FID", "IID", "paternalID",
  "maternalID", "sex", "phenotype"), na.strings = "-9")

Arguments

file	A path to a fam file.
col.names	A character vector of column names. Default: c("FID", "IID", "paternalID", "maternalID", "sex", "phenotype")
na.strings	Character vector of strings to use for missing values. Default "-9". Set this option to character() to indicate no missing values.
